A Coach Tale

It has been a lovely day, she said. She had managed to give avenues on which her and a potential client will work on.The latter is interested and gave her his contact details. She said she will come back to him next week with a quote. 

She is trying to set up her coaching practice. 
She knows it will take time to create a good client base.
She can feel within herself all the muddle emotions but do not pay attention to them and leave them on the sushi belt, slowly passing along. 

This evening, she is going to a coaching event where she hopes to meet people, have interesting conversation and ideas on how to move her practice forward. 

There, she meets a 'should' lady, a 'i do not ask for help' man, a 'yes' woman, a 'burnout' man, a 'not good enough' woman. A 'cant' man, a 'he is better than me' type, a 'no one care about me' woman,  a 'feel bad' man, 'aint pretty enough' woman and more.

She thinks the world is my oyster, I am me and I will share my gift in exchange of yours... 
The one, you do not even know you have...

Deep inside it was not really what I was looking for. 12 month ago, I almost gave up finding the Ph.D. Then, I changed my mind. I systematically send emails to to find the gap where I could jump in 9 month ago I applied for Design Star with the intention to investigate how design for sustainable behaviour and eco-design will contribute to the concept of the Circular Economy. 2 month ago, I started my Ph...

Designers of Money Futures - Permaculture

The latest Permaculture session I had was 'Money Futures'. We discussed the reasons why we need Money, the impact of money on the global and living world. Questions were asked about the other alternatives of money and whether we could do without it. It became clear that the discussion was a difficult one to have as we recognise our needs to belong. We recognise our needs to improve our surroundings. We recognise how much unskilled and clueless we were. We recognise the power of money in making our wishes reality by filling the gap of our own inabilities. Human relationship is probably the most expensive commodity. It forces some to enter the rat-race for happiness and belonging. It is an unfortunate conclusion. Luckily enough, it is not the end of the story. There are many alternatives to money and the gift economy is actually in scale a lot more prominent that people might think. It is not promoted on television but for sure it exists. Join a voluntary group, knock...

Time to listen

Sometimes our own perspective on life may get in the way of what we understand when others speaks. Pause, breathe and really listen. You may learn something. if you are too busy with your own thoughts, you will not even realise what was said. You will probably misinterpret some important signal. So what to do, Pause, breathe, ask further questions before sharing an informed answer based on fact and not your own imagination
